<p>Ask IT: “How do you prioritize your day?”</p>
<p>Every time an IT Professional wants to be proactive, they take into consideration the fact that putting out fires and focusing on other projects may preclude proactivity.  </p>
<p>IT Professionals need direction from you about prioritization of their long list of things to do (and include “what to do when a user calls with a problem” in that list of tasks to prioritize). </p>
<p>See these short links for important recommendations: <a href="https://fosterinstitute.com/blog/executives-grab-the-reins-of-it/">Executives, Grab the Reigns of IT!</a> and then <a href="https://fosterinstitute.com/blog/how-to-cause-it-to-fail/">How to Cause IT to Fail</a> </p>
<p>Don’t end up letting your company be a victim of technology. Set aside time to review priorities with your IT Professionals.</p>
